The Information department of the Goethe-Institut Belgium has a strong focus on digitalisation. It is committed to advancing media literacy and digital education across Europe. The Department kicked off in November 2024 an Erasmus+ project LIBRA.I. The project aims to integrate AI into media and learning literacy training in public libraries. Libraries play a key role in equipping citizens with the skills to navigate an increasingly unpredictable digital world, serving as safe places. LIBRA.I. is upskilling librarians by providing AI-related training, enabling them to guide the public in understanding digital media, disinformation, and the ethical implications of AI, as well as how to use AI in everyday life.
